What parents need to know
Parents need to know that the sexy innuendo in this CD is delivered with a strong sense of girl-power fun.
What's the story?
The B'DAY album of Beyoncé is nothing less than a total explosion of dance-party fun. Kicking off with "Déjà vu," a red-hot duet with Jay-Z, the divine Ms. B. comes into her own as a songwriter, performer, and champion of female empowerment and self-esteem. Lyrics follow the twists and turns of a woman's heart with most of the sexual innuendo defused by a strong sense of fun. She soars and whispers, croons and shouts, delivering honesty, soul, intelligence, sensuality, and humor in her performances.
Is it any good?
In Beyoncé's world, girlfriends help each other through good times, bad times, quiet times, and party times. This message comes across loud and clear not only in the song lyrics, but also in the wonderful interplay between the lead and background vocals, lending subliminal support to Beyoncé's girl-power message. The instrumental tracks, though sometimes melodically monotonous, are exquisitely performed and produced. On B'Day, Beyoncé demonstrates her ever-growing musical versatility, taste, and songwriting abilities.
What families can talk about
Families can talk about Beyoncé as a solo artist compared to her role in Destiny's Child. Do you think it would be more fun to be a solo star or to make music with your friends? Why?

B'Day
The album really get you moving. It has a lot of slow songs and party songs. There may be some little bad words. The album will some times talks about break ups, relationships, and how to rock. When you hear most of the songs it will really get you jamming. The album has great songs like Deja Vu, Irreplaceable, Get me bodied, and Upgrade U. The album has the best songs ever. This album rocks for all ages.
